Our Commitments

• Actively participate weekly on the OJR group and PLP Ning.
• Work with web2.0 tools (tagging things in delicious, twitter for our group, the ning, wikispace)
• Attend face-to-face OJR PLP meetings or Skype in or input to the team meeting.

Learning Goals

• Share our PLP learning monthly with our Progressive Technology Group.
• Learn together and develop a plan to scale this out to OJR.
• Develop a plan for creating communities of practice and support in the buildings for teachers.

Additional Learning Goals to Consider
Tier 1

• Promote teacher buy in
• Work with the team to formulate a goal/mission statement so we have a common purpose.
• Create an environment of shared practice and culture in respect to technology and learning.
• Determine how we promote a shift in instruction.
• Create and be a vehicle to disseminate technology and learning practices.
• The work we do will be relevant and meaningful to our students and teachers.
• Agree on one thing to incorporate by school year's end...baby steps.
• Plan for a trickle down effect from our PLP to staff for 21st century strategies.

Tier 2.

• Incorporate practices seamlessly in the curriculum.
• Identify web2.0 resource to use widely in the district and promote and train staff in its effective usage.
• Consider our kids as our customers in terms of how we interact/communicate versus product.
• We will work toward engaging digital natives and immigrants and bridge the gap between them.

Assumptions

• We will work collaboratively, face to face, via Skype or Elluminate.
• We will communicate via blog, forums online as much as possible between face to face meetings.
• Meet together and become partners as well as colleagues.
• Meet together face to face at least every 2-3 weeks
